I made some comments about Comcast digital cable above but I forgot to mention one of my biggest complaints....
The stupid set top box is required to change channels and it is as slow as melted cheese. You can hit the channel up / down button and wait up to a second for the picture to appear. Try doing that thru a zillion channels!At least with old analog cable, I can use my TV w/o the set top box and surf through the channels at lightning speeds.
Follow Ups:
Your digital channels are compressed when transmitted from the headend. When it gets to your Digital Consumer Terminal (DCT), the box will uncompress the signal and convert it back to analog before it reaches your TV set. I think this is how it works.
